🐾🌼 Congratulations to Benelli, our April Dog of the Month Contest winner! 🌼🐾

Benelli is 5 years old and full of personality. She loves playing in the creek, going for car rides, and keeping everyone on their toes — especially when there’s chicken fresh off the grill. 😆🍗

Her mom stopped by to pick up Benelli’s prize bag, and we’re so excited to celebrate this sweet girl!

Way to go, Benelli! 💛🐶

🌼🐾 APRIL WINNER ALERT! 🐾🌼
Everyone give a big round of a-paws for our April winner… Benelli! 🖤
At 5 years old, Benelli is living her best life—whether she’s splashing around in the creek or riding shotgun on a car ride. 🚗💦
🍪 Favorite treat: Chicken Biscuit Crackers
😏 Naughtiest moment: Sneaking onto the counter and devouring an entire pan of freshly grilled chicken (honestly… respect 😂)
She’s equal parts sweet and sneaky, and we love her for it!
Drop a 🐾 in the comments to show Benelli some love!
And don’t forget to share this post to celebrate our April star!
